Fabric Lock

ABSTRACT

Given the need to save time in are everyday existence, the “Fabric Lock” two piece interlocking system, allows the user the advantage of time saving, by continually finding and holding proper placement of bedding/fabrics/materials, allowing for quick placement and adjustments of same. This is accomplished with relative ease, and without special tooling or devices to complete fabric locking.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention pertains to the field of endeavor of human necessities. It is a given fact that there is often a need to hold fabric(s) and sheeted materials together both quickly and temporarily for a specific reason, to obtain a desired result. The “Fabric Lock”, seeks to fulfill that need, by using two interlocking pieces, which are, the Fabric Lock base and the Fabric Lock hold ring. The “Fabric Lock” will allow the user of the “Fabric Lock”(s) to hold these fabric(s) or material(s) in place, without piercing said fabric(s) or Material(s). Both “Fabric Lock” pieces, the base and hold ring, will be produced through the process known as injection molding, this allows for a wide variety of sizes and colors, to accommodate most of the consumers related needs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to sheeted fabrics and materials and the need to lock these fabric(s)/material(s) together quickly and without damaging said fabrics or materials, allowing for the outcome which is desired. This is accomplished by using the “Fabric Lock's” simple two-piece, base and ring interlocking system. These and other features and advantages of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The “Fabric Lock” two-piece interlocking system is produced through the process known as injection molding. This invention is a practical way to lock fabric(s), in place with relative ease, this allows for a quick, and temporary locking of fabric(s), to achieve a desired outcome.

Exploded view of the “Fabric Lock Base” to fabric to “Fabric Lock Hold Ring” in pre and post lock positioning.

FIG. 1 A shows “Fabric Lock Base” to fabric(s) to “Fabric Lock Hold Ring” pre locked position.

FIG. 1B shows “Fabric Lock Base” and fabric(s) being pushed through “Fabric Lock Hold Ring”, for pre-locked positioning.

FIG. 1 C shows “Fabric Lock Base” to fabric(s), to “Fabric Lock Hold Ring”, locked in position. This is achieved by rotating “Fabric Lock Hold Ring” 90°, thus allowing “Fabric Lock Hold Ring” tabs to lock position under “Fabric Lock Base” extensions.

The claimed invention is:
 1. A “Fabric Lock” two piece interlocking system, can be used for locking fabric(s) or material(s), in desired placement/location.
 2. The “Fabric Lock” according to claim 1, and with the use of several Fabric locks together, can result in greater and different area coverage and uses.
 3. The “Fabric Lock” according to claim 2, can be produced with a vast variety of colors or sizes, to produce unique design and or ornamental effects, along with allowing for a variety of fabric thicknesses.
